Chris DeBlasio

Hvala, Kelly. I’m going to keep this brief. I know we want to talk to the fighters on this card. But I think I’d be remiss if I didn’t represent for Stephen Espinoza, who couldn’t be on the call today, kako je vrlo uzbuđen smo za debi Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.. na našoj mreži Subota, Travanj 18, za naše SHOWTIME PRVENSTVO Boks doubleheader. To će biti velika noć. On the call with us and in the ring across from Julio Chavez Jr. te noći je Andrzej Fonfara, a man that we know that really comes to fight. He brought it on his first fight on SHOWTIME last year when he fought Adonis Stevenson. And that was a thrilling affair. And we’re looking forward to a real test and a great challenge for Chavez Jr. And we’re excited to have him on behalf of all of us at SHOWTIME. We welcome both of you guys and, naravno, thanks to all the press for being on the call. Hvala, Kelly.

K. Swanson

Hvala, svi. U redu. We’re going to go ahead and introduce the fighters and their trainers for you. First we have Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Bivši svjetski prvak u srednjoj, Andrzej Fonfara, Bivši svjetski naslov izazivač, Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. — svi znamo tko je on, i sigurno iz poštovanja prema velikom legenda da je, ćemo ga dočekati na poziv — Joe Goossen, koji je Julio je trener, i Sam Colonna, koji je Fonfara je trener.

Tako, U ovom trenutku, ono što bih želio učiniti je pitati Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.. da bi otvaranje primjedbe o ovoj borbi i malo o tome što on sada radi u trening kampu i koliko on misli o borbi.

Julio Cesar Chavez Jr..

I’m training very well. I’m training (na viši) level than the best. I’m doing more physical training (a ja sam sve bliže) težina 172 funti. And I think I’m in great shape, znate? I have a lot of time and don’t stay in this kind of shape.

K. Swanson

U redu. Now let’s hear from Andrzej Fonfara. Andrzej, može li razgovarati malo i recite nam kako se osjećate o borbi protiv Jr.?

Andrzej Fonfara

I’m feeling great. I think Chavez Jr. je veliki borac, svjetski prvak. A znaš, it’s good fight for me. I trained hard for the fight. We got very good camp. Sada, we start a sparring session. Znate, moja težina je dobar. My training’s–all trainings are good. I spent two weeks in Houston. I’m trained there, previše. Then I’m back to Chicago. We finished camp here. And I’m–znate, Ja sam spreman za dotaknu Chavez u ringu Travanj 18i pokazati mu da sam bolji boksač.

K. Swanson

U redu. Excellent. Hvala vam puno. Next we’ll have the trainers say something very brief before we turn it over to the media for call. Tako, Joe Goossen, he is Julio Cesar Chavez’s trainer at this point. Joe, želite napraviti nekoliko komentara?

Joe Goossen

Hvala. Broj jedan, I want to thank SHOWTIME because we’re very excited about performing for SHOWTIME on Julio’s debut fight with SHOWTIME. And that being said, znate, Julio je vrlo, very serious about this fight. Like Fonfara, he trained for a few weeks in Los Angeles. I sada, smo se u Lake Tahoe, up in the high altitude in the mountains here. It’s very secluded. It’s very concentrated work. Julio is — Ja samo mogu reći ovo — je vrlo posvećena ovoj borbi, mentalno, fizički, and spiritually. He’s shown me that he’s willing to work very hard for this fight, which always works out well when a fighter cooperates in training. And he’s doing that 110 posto. And I can’t tell you how happy I am, broj jedan, što će raditi s Julio Jr. It’s been something that I’ve always wanted to do. I naravno, I know his father very well. And I’m very honored to be a part of the team. And I can’t wait ’til Travanj 18 to display all of Julio’s talents and to go there. And we’ve got one objective. And that’s to win the fight. With the way Julio’s training, I’m very confident in what we’re doing right now. Tako, I’m very happy with that. And I’m sure Andrzej’s doing the same thing, training very hard. Uz to se, rekao je, hvala.

K. Swanson

Hvala. Sada, Sam Colonna, Ako nam mogao dati komentar, a onda ćemo ga otvoriti za pitanja.

Sam Colonna

Dobro, prvo, I’d like to thank everybody for getting this together. It’s an honor to be part of it. Ali, znate, prije nego što su pokupili Julio César Chavez se boriti, they were throwing names at us. And I would say no. And another name came. I would say no. As soon as they said, 'Što je Julio Cesar Chavez,’ I rekao je, ‘That’s the fight we want.’ The style is perfect for us. He comes right at us. And it’s going to be a great fight for Andrzej to show what the power and the dedication he has towards it. He knows that this fight here is going to bring him to the top. And it’s an honor to fight Julio Cesar Chavez. It’s somebody I wanted him to fight for years. But the weight was never the same. Andrzej moved up. And then now, it’s perfect. Tako, to će biti velika borba. I think we’re going to bring a lot of action to this fight. And it’s going to be a jammed action fight. I’m glad that this fight happened. And I can’t wait for Travanj 18.

K. Swanson

U redu. Hvala. I sada, Posljednje, ali ne najmanje važno, Volio bih da se par komentara od Julio Cesar Chavez Sr. about his son fighting Fonfara and what he anticipates that will be like. Srpanj?

Julio Cesar Chavez Sr.

I didn’t want this fight. Znam to, za mog sina, I know it’s a hard fight. It’s a difficult fight. And I didn’t want it. Fonfara is very strong. But my son wanted this fight. He wanted fighters that have a high category. He wanted a hard fight. And he believed that winning this fight will give him more credibility. And that’s why he chose Fonfara.

P

This is for Chavez Jr. Srpanj, Kako se osjećate dolaze iz otpuštanje godine?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Osjećam se dobro. Znam da je teško kada ste off. To je teško povratiti svoje vrijeme. Ali ja sam bio trening, working at my skills. And I think, znate, Vrlo sam uvjeren, jer sam proveo cijeli svoj život u boksu. Ja sam u 13. godini od moje profesionalne karijere. Dakle, ja ne mislim da je to problem, jer ova borba je na 172 funti. I don’t need to have a problem with weight. And at 172, I feel good in sparring. I feel good in training. And I think I’m ready for this fight and ready to win another world title.

P

Govoreći o tom titulu prvaka, Kako se osjećate o momcima poput Adonisa Stevenson i Sergej Kovalev?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Oh, these guys very strong. But I think, Nakon ove borbe, Idem dolje do 168 i ostati u ovoj klasi mase. Prije godinu ili dvije sam se preselila u 175 ali to je bilo previše za moje tijelo. Sada, Ja sam 168. Ali, za jednu godinu dana pauze, ova borba je na 172.

P

Andrzej, Kako se osjećate fizički dolaze s Adonis Stevenson bitku?

A. Fonfara

Mislim da sam pokazao againstStevenson da sam borac. Fizički, Osjećam se dobro sada. Od tog borbi, I’ve been training much harder. Mislim, Zbog toga borbi, Ja sam bolji boksač, jer, znate, I learn a lot in fights. I’m ready for Chavez, Ja sam naporno trenirao za ovu borbu, poput, znate, Chavez says. He’s trained hard for this fight. But I always train hard. It doesn’t matter if it’s Chavez or whoever else, Uvijek sam trening tvrdi.

P

To je i za Julio Jr. and Sr. For Jr., očito, Tu je prednost, a možda i nedostatak, previše, to having such a famous name. Benefit is that everybody knows your father and what he accomplished. And that brings you attention early in your career as it has. The possible drawback is that you’re always going to be compared to him, koji neki će reći gotovo je nemoguće, impossibly high standard to try to live up to. From your perspective and also from your father’s, što o tome, teret i korist imaju takav poznati naziv?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

I think I’m well respected because I’m world champion. Ali, znate, Mislim da je to prednost. Ali to me ne pomogne u ringu. Ja sam dokazao u ringu. I beat the champions. I beat the number one, broj dva, broj tri i broj četiri na 168 funti. I sam je pokazao svima, ljudi, da ja mogu boriti, previše. Ja sam dobar borac i (Stavio sam na dobrim borbama). A ljudi kao što vidite moje borbe. My style is a good style for the people. And I think this fight, previše, stil Fonfara je došao da se bori, he’s a fighter with a great heart and great chin. And both of us will make a great fight.

J. Cesar Chavez Sr..

The name has helped. Očito, to je pomoglo dobiti pozornost, but we are very different. On — my son fights at a higher weight than I fought. And so, there’s a lot of difference. Fizički, he’s a lot bigger than I was. Tako, postoji dobro i loše, and we understand that. Ali, On je sam svoj borac baš kao što sam bio.

P

Sam, you mentioned earlier that you had a lot of names mentioned for Andrzej before you finally settled on Chavez. Are you willing to reveal some of those names?

S. Kolona

Znate ono? I really don’t have them right in front of me. Ali, Tu su najmanje tri, four different guys they were throwing at us. And as soon as they said Chavez, Idem, 'To je tip što želimo,’ jer, kao što sam rekao ranije, the style is perfect for us. And we don’t have to look for him too much, znate? He’s going to be right there for us. Tako, stil stvarno, stvarno mješovita dobro.

P

Andrzej, ste se borili na srednjoj, super srednjoj, light heavyweight. How does it feel fighting at 172? And do you see yourself moving possibly down in weight in the near future, ili misliš da si istinit teškoj svjetlo?

A. Fonfara

Ja sam u teškoj svjetlo borac. That’s because I’m fighting with Chavez. That’s why we have a catch-weight. And that’s why I go down. Ja obično se boriti na 175, at least for maybe two years. And this my weight. It’s not impossible for me to go, poput, dva, 3 £ dolje, jer, znate, kada sam se borio Stevenson prošle godine u svibnju, I bio 173 onda. And I felt good then. Two pounds down is not problem for me. Should be good, znate? Just more diet, more work in the last week. And I should be good.

P

Srpanj Jr., koliko je olakšanje je to za vas napokon boriti nakon godinu dana? I know it’s been trying for you with the whole lawsuit and everything. Tako, kakav je osjećaj za vas da znate da napokon imaju borbu gore naprijed?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Osjećam se dobro. Osjećam se super, znate, because this problem offended me a lot mentally more than physically. But I’m really happy that this problem is better now. I have a fight in front of me. A znaš, I’m not remembering anything about that. I’m just focusing on the fight Travanj 18 za Fonfara. Osjećam se dobro, Osjećam se super. You know I can’t tell you with words how I feel because I’m better to the ring. (Ali ja sam vrlo uzbuđen da se vraćaju) na prsten.

P

Joe Goossen, koji je od vještina Julio Cesar se prevodi najbolje za poluteškoj podjele?

J. Goossen

Dobro, Prvi off, Julio is a well-rounded fighter. Mislim, we’ve seen him box before. And we’ve seen him pressure before. I don’t want to tip my hand on what we’re going to do but we have studied the films. We’ve talked about the films of Andrzej. I naravno, we’re developing a game plan. I think the weight — u osnovi, 172 is very close to 68. It’s a weight he’s fought at before. So I don’t think the weight is going to be a problem at all. The way he’s working right now and the weight he’s at right now, Mislim da ćemo biti u mogućnosti pogoditi 172 mark quite easily. Ali, opet, as far as what skills he has that we’re going to bring to the table is something that I think is private to us. But Julio Jr. is a multi-talented fighter. Just watching him spar yesterday, kad nam je potreban okvir, he did it beautifully. And when we needed pressure in a few rounds, he pulled it off exactly how I like it. So I’m very confident that whatever style we bring and game plan we bring, ćemo biti uspješni s njom.

P

Možete li napraviti težinu?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Da. Sure. I’ll make 172 jer plaćam $100,000 po pola kilograma (ako ja ne). Ja ne mogu platiti toliko novaca. Nikada nisam težio više od 172 U tučnjavi. Samo borba sam napravio 172 je Brian Vera, the first fight. But in all the rest of my career of boxing, U svim mojim prvenstvu napadaje (Nikad ne čine težinu). Ne znam zašto si me pitati kako. U redu. Maybe, Ja sam veći borac, znate? I know I am a bigger fighter. Ali, Nemam problema. A (ako on ne) Ne bi težinu, Možda ću pobijediti $100,000 više.

P

Tako, Srpanj, ste u nadi za $100,000 od Andrzej Fonfara, ali si rekao da on ne bi trebao nadati $100,000 od vas?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Ne, nemoj. I think that the fight’s in the right way. And he’s not going to take advantage of anybody, znate, jer (Dolazim u upaljač). Znate, Težina je prilično dobar mislim da za oba borca.

P

Možete li govoriti o svojoj odluci da imaju Joe Goossen u svom kutu, osjećate, kao rezultat Vera borbe, koje duguju navijače nastup?

J. Cesar Chavez Jr..

Dobro, I’ve known Joe Goossen for a long time. He’s a great trainer. He’s a great person. He’s somebody that motivates fighters. And we have a true connection. We’ve connected again. And I like him a lot. I like that he’s a hard worker, just like me. And I think, zajedno, we’re going to do really well. With regards to the performance, Mogu vam reći da je, this show is for the people. To će biti velika borba. It’s going to be a better fight. I sada, sa svojom novom promociju tvrtke i znajući tko je moj protivnik će biti unaprijed, Mislim da će to biti velika noć.
